Chapter 19. Push and pull to get what you want. (2)
I’ve been doing fortification ceremonies for several years, but this was the first time something like this happened.
Paaaaat!
The light that spread from Rachel’s hand eventually colored her whole body.
At this moment, she seemed to be surrounded by light. It was a very sacred and holy sight.
“Hey, this can’t be right!”
The archbishop shouted as if he suddenly realized something. People paid attention to his voice.
“God has answered the saint’s prayer!”
The archbishop raised his hands with an excited expression.
“A miracle has happened! God himself is blessing us!”
He bowed flat on the floor in that posture.
“Dio Benedica!”
The archbishop’s shout rang out from the podium.
“Oh my god.”
“The saint performed a miracle!”
“God himself!”
There was a huge commotion among the crowd. Everyone hurriedly lowered themselves like an archbishop.
“Dio Benedica!!”
A loud roar swept through the central square. An atmosphere of fanatical belief slowly spread.
“What should I do about this?”
“No, really….”
The nobles looked at each other in confusion. To find an answer to this situation, they looked at the emperor as if they had made a promise.
“…….”
Emperor Theodore had a stern look on his face. I clenched my fists and glared at the scene of his miracle.
“Why is your Majesty doing that?”
“Don’t you seem angry somehow?”
“How could that happen in this miraculous situation? Aren’t you a little embarrassed?”
Because of this, the nobles did not know what to do and just muttered.
“…….”
Rachel felt Emperor Theodore’s piercing gaze. His red eyes were asking.
What happened now?
He wanted to grab Rachel’s arm right now, but he seemed to be conscious of his surroundings and was holding back.
‘joy. ‘What if I glare at you?’
Rachel ignored the emperor. Even if he rushed in now, it would already be too late.
‘More, more, more. Even more!’
I drew out my vitality again and again. By pumping and pumping from the infinite sea, we created a spring that never dries and flows continuously.
We did our best to ensure that the energy of life that spread like that would overturn this stage and spread to the end of the central square.
I could feel the energy of life all around me.
There was no way Requiem would leave this alone. You’ll be itching to stick your mouth into this fountain of life and gulp down it.
‘Ahahaha!’
Rachel wanted to laugh out loud. I wanted to throw away this cumbersome veil and say the end to the emperor’s face.
Now it was all over.
Being trapped in a temple and acting as a puppet, playing into the hands of the emperor, and living a life without purpose or meaning.
“haha…….”
Rachel smiled slightly and raised her head toward the noble bleachers. There, the owner of Requiem was seen writhing her whole body in agony… … .
“……uh?”
Rachel’s mouth opened wide.
The owner of Requiem did not look what she expected.
“…….”
He stood still in a crooked posture. just,
‘Oh, is that the power of blessing?’
She was looking at the saint’s hand with a face that seemed to say.
A calm face, as if looking at something that has nothing to do with oneself. It’s hard to see because it’s struggling with the turbulent Requiem.
He was so unbelievably calm.
‘why? why?’
Rachel was very embarrassed. For a moment he almost forgot to use Serenade’s power and almost extinguished the light.
‘… … ‘It can’t be!’
When I think about it again, the man has taken control of Requiem and has maintained his rationality up until now. That meant that he had a much stronger will than the average person.
‘I guess I was wrong. I think I can endure this much.’
Rachel gathered her shaking heart. I gritted my teeth and brought out Serenad’s power even more.
Hwaaaaaaa!
A light almost like brilliance emanated from her hands.
“Oh my god….”
“Oh God…….”
The crowd trembled, not daring to raise their faces.
“D, Dio Benedica.”
One of the nobles put his hands together and closed his eyes. It was Sophia Barnes who had previously experienced the saint’s blessing.
Starting with her,

“Dio… Benedica.”
“Dio Benedica….”
The other nobles gradually joined hands. As this atmosphere spread, even the royal family eventually had no choice but to join hands.
However, Emperor Theodore was an exception.
Now that he could no longer see, he began glaring at the saint as if she were going to kill her.
The central square was literally filled with absolute faith in God. If God had seen this sight, he would have screamed with joy.
“Ugh! Saint! Are you okay!”
“It’s so dazzling I can’t see the saint!”
“I think I’m going to go blind if I keep doing this!”
In reality, screams erupted from priests and knights around him.
‘Well, what do you think?’
Rachel gasped and lifted her head.
It was overwhelming because it had been so long since I had exerted this much strength. So this time, the owner of Requiem… … .
“-!”
No surprises occurred.
The owner of Requiem was scratching his cheek and looking around. Make sure to have a sour expression,
‘Should I pray too?’
It seemed like he was saying.
That carefree appearance lit a fire inside Rachel.
‘why! why! What happened?!’
Rachel screamed.
How could Requiem remain still even after feeling such a huge and powerful life force?
According to Rachel’s common sense, that didn’t make sense. He should have started the Requiem Massacre a long time ago.
‘Now that it’s like this… … .’
I had to check.
Rachel bit her lip tightly and then strained her eyes.
Pot!
In an instant, people’s bodies were colored with various colors, conveying all kinds of information.
“Ugh.”
My eyes hurt as if they were being squeezed because of the excessive information flooding in.
‘The owner of Requiem.’
Rachel quickly looked away. The moment I found him in the noble stands,
“……!”
He let out a silent scream.
It was dark and dark again, and there seemed to be a void that seemed to swallow up even the light. A vague feeling that I don’t know much about, the end of which I don’t know.
It was clearly a requiem. Other than Requiem, there was no one who could have something like that in their body.
The problem is that instead of violently vibrating or swirling, it was undulating quietly.
Just as if following the master’s control.
‘How did this happen… … .’
I couldn’t continue my thoughts. I felt pressure as if my eyes were about to explode.
“Ugh!”
Rachel closed her eyes tightly and turned her head.
There was a strong sense of heat inside the retina. Tears came to my eyes from the pain beyond my imagination.
‘Damn it!’
Rachel struggled to open her eyes that were difficult to open. The whites of her eyes were already bloodshot.
Now I had to admit it. I couldn’t figure out what happened.
The owner of Requiem maintains his composure despite the waves of vitality undulating so vividly. Completely arbitrarily.
There was no point in radiating Serenade’s power anymore.
‘No words… … no.’
The light faded from Rachel’s hand. Serenade, who was wrapped in one of his hands, disappeared as if being sucked into his palm.
‘This is ridiculous. There’s no way something like this is possible.’
Rachel let her hands hang down and looked blankly ahead.
The crops that were the object of consecration had turned into seeds. Thanks to being given too much vitality, it ended up going back in time and returning to its original form.
“Oooooh!”
“Look at that!”
Only then did the crowd check the seed placed in front of the saint. There was a rush of excitement at witnessing an amazing miracle.
“God has blessed us!”
“You’re happy that this year’s crop was good!”
“Oh my God! I’ve never had a consecration like this before!”
Whether they were jumping for joy or not, Rachel just wanted to run away from this place. He wanted to scream and run away.
They did all of this in anticipation of Requiem’s runaway success. I really thought the end would come now.
“…….”
Emperor Theodore’s stinging gaze fell on his face. It was a look that was enough to tear Rachel apart and dig deep inside her.
‘Ah, it’s completely ruined.’
I burst out laughing out of frustration. It seemed like today would be quite a long day.

“Oh wow, that’s really amazing.”
Mikel continued to exclaim in exclamation. He made a sunshade with his hands and attached it to his forehead, unable to take his eyes off the stage.
“Is that really the power of God?”
What is the power of God?
I snorted, but didn’t show it.
“Has Prince Abel ever attended mass at the temple?”
“Not yet.”
“I heard that you often receive a blessing from a saint at mass, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a strong light.”
Mikel tilted his head.
“It looks like next year will be a huge harvest.”
A faint smile appeared on Mikel’s lips as he said that. It seemed like they were hoping that the situation in the North would get a little better.
‘I don’t think so.’
Contrary to what he was thinking, he nodded his head in agreement and moved his gaze to the stage.
“Saint! Oh my god!”
“Saint, are you okay!”
The archbishop and priests made a fuss and flocked to the saint.
“…….”
The saint raised only one hand without saying a word. The tip was trembling as if under her strength.
“Bring it here!”
“What are you doing? Why don’t you prepare a place for the saint to sit down!”
After a little fuss, the saint sat down on the chair prepared by the priests.
“Are you okay? Are you dizzy?”
“Shall I bring some water to drink?”
The saint just shook her head. Seeing that, the priests became even more restless.
I laughed when I saw that.
‘It looks like there is more than enough disappointment.’
Isn’t it true that the stage prepared with so much effort went in vain? But this stage was bound to fail.
‘There is no information about me, so you must have been mistaken.’
I was lucky enough to get my hands on Requiem, and I’m holding out against that guy.
So I did this crazy thing. An attempt was made to unleash the power of Serenade right in front of us and cause Requiem to go berserk.
‘I’m anxious to die.’
I had no intention of joining in with that masterpiece. So I took Alessia’s ring before meeting her saint.
The inside of the gauntlet was still warm. It was proof that the rings on my fingers were protecting me from Requiem.
If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have been able to withstand Serenade’s temptation so easily.
‘It kills the taste of the guardian.’
I was once again impressed by my meticulous and thorough preparation.
In the original work, Abel, who held the Requiem, never came to the capital without maintaining his senses. Therefore, what would happen today had to be inferred purely from existing information.
‘Luckily it fit well.’
After feeling each other’s presence on the first day in the capital. I anticipated how Rachel would move. Because she knew her situation, her wishes, and her limitations better than anyone else.
If I hadn’t encountered him like that, I would have even considered going to the temple in person.
‘Because I had to let you know that the owner of Requiem came to the capital.’
Fortunately, we passed by each other, saving us the trouble of going there in person.
Rachel moved as I expected. I was a bit surprised when she sang her Requiem during mass earlier.
‘I didn’t know they would check it so openly.’
I pretended not to notice and pretended to be embarrassed by my heated shoulder. Because of my outstanding performance, Rachel must have made up her mind to perform the heroic mission today.
Everything was going according to plan.
“Oh oh……!”
Amid the commotion, the archbishop came to the podium.
“Glory to God on this holy day!”
He shouted, holding up the crop that had become seeds.
“Bless the future of the Maggiore Empire! God is with us!”
The crowd was enthusiastic, waving their hands.
“God bless you!”
“Glory to the saint!”
I clicked my tongue when I saw that.
‘That place is doing a good business.’
